I've moved this from "Speakers" forum, hoping for some advice:
I picked up a pair of Acoustic Research bookshelf speakers, AR PS2052. When I hooked them up, I noticed that I was not getting sound out of one of them. I switched the wiring to the amp, and the problem was in the same speaker - likewise when I hooked them up to another amp. When I put my ear close to the speaker, I could hear sound from the tweeter, but not from the woofer. I ended up removing the woofer, and hooking up a woofer from a similar speaker, and it worked. So looks like I have a problem with the woofer, not the crossover. In looking at the woofer, I see that the terminals look fine, and the braided copper wires from the terminal to the cone look fine. So is there anything I can do, other than replacing the woofer? Thanks for any advice!
